Bill Press: Blame Robert Hur – But Blame The Media, Too
Maybe we need a new law: Ban the Justice Department from meddling in presidential politics! That law should have been passed in 2016, when FBI Director James Comey blew up the presidential election – twice! – with his ridiculous investigation into Hi

Jonah Goldberg: Trump And His MAGA Movement Stormed The Republican Establishment. Now They Have Become It

Clarence Page: Immigration Is On Americans’ Minds. And Politicians Are Seizing The Opportunity

Cal Thomas: Politicians Excel At Lying
Politicians aren’t good at much, but they do excel at one thing – lying. They lie about the border. Both parties refuse to acknowledge the danger of a growing and unsustainable debt ( CNBC reports it’s increasing by $1 trillion about every 100 days).
